Difference is that you don't expect Bomber, jjakji and DongRaeGu to go in and dominate SPL, crushing herO, Maru and Life. Most people did expect the EG-TL players to do that, especially Taeja iirc.
edit: Some quotes from the "Unholy Alliance" announcements:
"I expect TL+EG to destroy this league, but I think itll be fun watching =D"
"Stephano, Taeja, HerO, Sea, Zenio are you kidding me? this team looks incredibly scary to say the least."
"Awesome...I hope they can compete reasonably. Though I shouldn't be worried...they have Hero, Taeja, Stephano, JYP, and Puma ."
"I honesty believes that the LiquidGeniuses will do very well against the kespa teams."
But some people knew what was up:
"They are going to get their asses torn apart, but it's nice news."

And in the end only Stephano did decently.

HerO did the best in # of wins, Stephano did the best in win rate
Take it as you will

But Stephano was the only one above 50% WR wasn't he?

Stephano was 6-5, HerO was 24-23 with two ace match wins

Hmm indeed. I had forgotten that HerO was above 50%.

Bomber's law kicked in today... He completely had the game up until the final two minutes or so >.>
